    Swordfish 200 amp esc need ubec?

    Hey guys I have a swordfish 200amp esc and its going to be running 2 3s in series, so should I cut the red wire on the esc and run something like a castle ubec, since the esc will only go up to 4s? Also running hitec servo that can take up to 7.4v so can program ubec to that to give me better torque from servo?

    The unit DOES NOT have a BEC, you will need to supply your own.

      do not cut the red wire, try to remove it from the connector as you will still using it to re-program the esc

              It's the new thanks for the website. So it does have bec but next question do I still run ubec to get the full 7.4 volts to get the best torque from my hitec servo?

                  The built in BEC should be sufficient for running a single servo. Im not to familiar with Swordfish so Im not 100% sure on how stout their BECs maybe someone else can chime in on that.
